Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have been making headlines over the past few months amid rumours surrounding their marriage, alleged affair claims, and speculation about a possible divorce. More recently, Sunita grabbed attention after stating that Govinda did not help their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, launch his acting career. Referring to Yash as a “self-made boy,” she revealed that despite being Govinda’s son, he has auditioned nearly 90 times. Sunita also drew comparisons with stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Suniel Shetty, who have actively supported their children’s careers in the film industry.

Now, Govinda has responded to these remarks, expressing immense pride in his son and calling him a better actor than himself.

Speaking to ANI, Govinda reflected on his decision to step away from politics, explaining that he did not want his political career to negatively impact his family, especially his children. The actor shared that he feared professional rivalries, jealousy, or hostility could create problems, which is why he chose to distance himself from politics and focus on his family. He also revealed that producer Sajid Nadiadwala provided Yashvardhan access to his office cabin to help him understand how films are made and how the industry functions. Govinda added that he consciously kept himself away to avoid creating a film-driven environment at home, admitting that he felt unsuccessful in maintaining film-related relationships within his family.

Talking about Yashvardhan’s talent, Govinda said that his son has the potential to surpass him as an actor. He praised Yash’s technical skills, stating that he is more refined and better trained. Govinda expressed hope that if Yash is presented to the industry in the right way, he could achieve great success.

Meanwhile, Yashvardhan Ahuja is currently preparing for his Bollywood debut in an upcoming film that also stars Laapataa Ladies actor Nitanshi Goel. The film, tentatively titled 100, will be directed by Sajid Khan and marks the filmmaker’s return to cinema.
